Time Bandits Getting Rebooted

Variety reports that producers Guy Collins, Michael Ryan and Fred Hedman -- formerly of Handmade Films, the production company behind the 1981 cult classic -- "are in talks with a Hollywood co-producer to redo the Terry Gilliam pic as a bigscreen kids action franchise. The execs, who exited Handmade last year, were previously developing both projects there."

It's cruelly ironic that a Gilliam movie can get remade, but he can't seem to get his own original films made now.
